In re recent political charges religion rejects science.

In their work “Anti-Oedipus: Capitalism and Schizophrenia” (1972, but spawning a whole genre of ‘me-toos’), Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari articulated a “materialist psychiatry” which requires the unconscious to be conceived of as “an orphan and an atheist”; Deleuze made Baruch Spinoza central to his Marxian critique of Freudian psychoanalysis.

Per Deleuze and Guattari, liberal-democratic capitalism and psychoanalysis should pick up where Protestantism left off, and replace waning external authority with forms of subjective authority. The infinite debt owed to God then transfers to an infinite owed to capital or the presuppositions of modern social life, with society then governed by economic forces rather than moral principles. As the cash nexus subverts all religious and popular authority in society at large, all that remains is one’s own conscience now nothing but a vestige of religion in one’s own superego (because religion has no liberal-capitalist analog)…why Obama forbids medical and other conscientious objections by Executive Orders?

This creates something officials and DHS April 2009 to date appear to pay keen attention to: such new atheism not only is against religious beliefs, but a general disbelief in totalism of any kind (God, monarchy, Kommissars, SS, clergy who take faith funds or espouse ANY government policy is Godly, whatever) which attributes the productive activity of society to itself as its “quasi-cause”.

In other words, some vote-seekers will tell you they’ll help you bash religion to prove THEY aren’t your problem because God is an easy “totalist” to pick on, yet as mere psychology of placation with no tether to reality and in denial of growing vertical dependence on government for inclusion with society.

I remain a Christian respecting science (including physicists who time and again prove the universe had a transcendental causal agent) and the likes of Fulton Sheen, Billy Graham, John Paul II…even Barack Obama, insofar as page 256 of his 2008 book the “Audacity of Hope” (representing that back THEN, he thought Socialist agendas sapped people of initiative and dignity). But if Schizoanalysis tells you to hate or shun me, just as I have to live with that, please remember that it is not I who is responsible for your urge to be anti-totalist…it’s a by-product of Schizoanalytical agendas of those who told you to bash me and my like-minded colleagues, or the misguided advice of lost souls.
